It's the third time over the last two years that Cagliari have escaped punishment relating to racist abuse of players. The club's supporters previously aimed similar discriminatory chants at Moise Kean and Blaise Matuidi.

Verona rejected claims that their fans were racially abusing Kessie, explaining, according to the Associated Press, that the chants were being misconceived as whistles from the stands were aimed at match officials.
